Doesn't do anything for autovacuum though...
BTW, does pg_dumpall know to dump ALTER USER SET settings attached
to built-in roles (such as the proposed "autovacuum" role)? I'd bet
it doesn't do that. Even if it does, that seems like a more awkward
way to push settings over to a new installation than copying your
postgresql.conf file.
Simon's idea of "profiles" sounds worth pursuing to me, but clearly
it's not happening for 8.4.
